"I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."
It might help.
At least Windows appears user friendly. Arch otoh is quite hard to set up the first time.
I'm not familiar with Google Matter, but you may find google alternatives for home assistant integrations at !homeassistant@lemmy.world
I've been pleasantly surprised before.
I have 2. One has broken twice from over use, so I reprinted the broken piece and swapped it.
I spent 20 minutes (I timed it) on the phone diagnosing a tech support issue and instructing the user on how to fix it. It took about 10 seconds for me to realise that number lock was turned off.
The rest of the 20 minutes was trying to get the user to find and press "Num lock" on the keyboard.
About 10 minutes in, they actually found and pressed it. Apon noticing that nothing had appeared on the screen, they tried pressing it again, then announced it didn't work.
Somehow, just getting them to press the button one more time was not simple, as they now had to begin their logical left-to-right scan of the keyboard again to find this mysterious new "Num lock" button they'd never heard of before.
This person (on another call) would say the name of each key as they pressed it. They would say "Caps lock, A, Caps lock, Enter" when typing a single "A" on a line, but didn't know what "Caps lock" was and couldn't find it on the keyboard when asked to press it immediately after having said and pressed it.
I've had a bot end the session while both I and the service agent were typing, and it was only 30 seconds since the last message.
This happened 3 times in a row before I learnt to pre-type all my answers in a text document and copy-paste them to keep the bot happy.
It's not as good as Google from 20 years ago, but much better than Google today.
I didn't choose it for the privacy, I chose it because I wanted to actually get results for my searches.
Google gets me answers about 20% of the time,
Kagi about 50%,
and (generic - not Kagi) AI about 80% of the time.
The problem with AI as search is that the other 20% is when it will confidently give me wrong answers and waste hours of my time, so I guess Kagi is still useful to me.
Are you suggesting that all countries on earth will adopt this law, or that all developers in all countries will comply with the law of one country?
Will all previous versions of all OSs be deleted? Will all OSs become closed source so you can't just remove the age verification part?
Will you be the only person on earth who is willing to break an unethical law to have basic privacy?
If yes to all the above, then you may need to start learning how to program.
